HRQoL is poor among nursing home residents. VI has a significant impact on HRQoL. Significant impact of VI on HRQoL suggests greater need for eye care services in them and psycho-social, family and community support. They have no one to look after them; hence, the government and the concerned group should take the initiative in the provision of their welfare and support.
Enhancing HRQoL should be given high priority in nursing homes. The residents need help from formal caregivers to maximize coping, adjustment, and independence and heighten QoL.
Further work on whether correctable or non-correctable VI has more impact on HRQoL, is warranted. Future work also needed to assess HRQoL after correction of VI and comparing the difference before and after the intervention.
